'Black Mirror' Episode 'San Junipero' Gets Two Emmy Nominations

With the Emmy nominations celebrating some of 2017's television best, from The Handmaids Tale to Big Little Lies, it can be easy to forget all the great shows that made an impact last year.

One of these such series was, of course, Black Mirror. Streaming its third season on Netflix back in October, one episode in particular became a firm favorite among fans and critics alike.

Yup, "San Junipero" is up for two Emmy nominations. One nod goes to creator Charlie Brooker, for Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series, Movie or Dramatic Special while the second nomination is in the Outstanding TV Movie category.

Some Black Mirror fans argued that the episode was overhyped and that a happy ending was out of place in the dystopian series. At the same time, seeing Yorkie and Kelly dance into eternity in San Junipero provided a much-needed burst of light relief.

The episode is up against some strong competition including "Sherlock: The Lying Detective" and "The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks." Here's hoping a win would encourage more shows to properly develop their queer characters and storylines.
